Instruments[edit]

How about adding instruments to the infobox. Like keyboards, vocals, guitar.

. It talked about 3D, Tricky and Roni Size being part of a "Bristol sound" movement. I took this out because (a) Bristol sound redirects to trip hop and both Massive Attack and Tricky (and, for that matter, Portishead and as far as I can make out EVERYONE to whom the term was ever applied) reject the existence of such a movement and (b) Roni Size plays drum and base and to my knowledge has never been describe as Trip hop or having the Bristol sound.

Fair use rationale for Image:Robertdelnaja.jpg[edit]

Image:Robertdelnaja.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit[edit]

Removed contradiction in the Political views section and corrected spelling errors. -20:35 EST

Date of birth[edit]

It's 1965 in the lead section and 1966 in the infobox. Sources vary, so maybe this uncertainty should be mentioned. Peter James (talk) 16:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It started out as 1966, but considering it has never been verified maybe it should be removed if there is a dispute. Sionk (talk) 17:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Issues[edit]

The following section was deleted without explanation in May 2020 by 67.167.223.47

In March 2003, Del Naja was arrested and interviewed under Operation Ore, an investigation into child abuse images. No further action was taken against him. The allegations disrupted Massive Attack's tour following the release of 100th Window, but the band eventually decided against suing the Sun newspaper or the police.[1]

This is the second time it was deleted. When it was previously removed by Penelopeinthewest, the change was reverted, but not on this occasion. The "Legal Issues" section now only contains reference to two police cautions as a young person.

I'm no expert on wikipedia's policy regarding criminal allegations/criminal history, so I'm not going to opine on whether this should be included, but there should be an explanation of why it should be deleted, considering the previous entry was adequately sourced.

If the allegations re: indecent images shouldn't be present, I would suggest removing the entire section. I'm not sure childhood grafitti by itself is worthy of an entire section.

MegaPowerTape (talk) 20:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that given the gravity of the allegation and the fact that the investigation was ended at the police interview, rather than a court acquittal like for example Michael Jackson, means that this is better off being left alone. The members of Joy Division have been open that they were interviewed about the Yorkshire Ripper case, and that can be included because we know the real culprit and they see the funny side years on. This case with Del Naja isn't like that. PS I moved the graffiti cautions because it's ridiculous to have that as the sole entry in a legal issues section Unknown Temptation (talk) 15:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah leave this one alone. It was a mixup involving a stolen creditcard (or something to that effect) being used at a payment processor. The police had determined he had nothing to do with it. Poor guy doesn't need this hovering over his head. Believing women is important, but nobody has accused him of anything and it was just a cop mix-up that for a while was doing real damage to his career. Duckmonster (talk) 03:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"It was a mix up" - the police seized his computers after he was found to have paid for csam online with his credit card. There was no previous report of his credit card being stolen. He lied, they didn't prosecute. That doesn't mean he's innocent. This is all publicly sourced and literally the reason WHY I came to his page today. Leaving this information out is a PR move - literal whitewashing of a legitimate and important part of this public figure's legacy. 67.189.55.54 (talk) 17:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could Be Banksy?[edit]

Could It? Glitch TTG (talk) 18:46, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:CRYSTALBALL. Robvanvee 20:00, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a claim that Robert Del Naja is Banksy, as this claim wasn't based on a source widely regarded as reliable. The statement about his identity has no place here until this assertion can be confirmed to reflect reality and thereby can be established as fact. --Jostiel (talk) 00:20, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed what I think is the last remaining "Del Naja is Banksy" reference on the page, which was in the infobox. TimberToner (talk) 06:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
